Poems of Praise
Author: Steve Solomon
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1796076015
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 101
Book Description
From the author After publishing my first book in 2012, “A Rainbow Of Emotions” (ROE for short), I decided to continue writing. However, in the course of a few short years, there were a plethora of significant changes in my life that had drastic effects on my way of thinking. The most significant change of them all is that I had gone from being a believer, to a disciple of Christ. Obviously this has had a tremendous impact on my writing. This book reflects this transition as the poems have been written over the first four years of my salvation and its contents are solely based on Christian ideology giving praise to our LORD and Savior Jesus Christ. By publishing this book I not only intend to give my brothers and sisters in Christ something both entertaining and inspirational to read, but I also hope that someone out there that is unsure of where they stand (spiritually) may find hope and strengthen their faith through the message of the gospel which has inspired me and had a tremendously positive impact on my life. Lastly, I must recognize the three brethren that have also contributed to the final product of this book. First I thank my two proofreaders whom have requested to remain anonymously out of the spotlight! I would also like to thank my brother in Christ Dan Pellegrino Jr. from kingdomimpactdesign.com for designing the cover art for this book. Without them being the furnace to this work, this would be a lump of unrefined gold with the dross still inside. I hope you are more blessed by reading this book than I was to write it. Peace and grace to you all! Steve Solomon

ISBN: 1973685825
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 184
Book Description
After almost thirty years, it seems that the poetry part of God’s journey for me might be coming to a close. This will be the third and final book of His published poems. I do realize that I am just the loyal and loving servant that He chose to be one of His penman’s. The previous other two books, “From God’s Heart, to Mine, to Yours” and “More, From God’s Heart, to Mine, to Yours” have been well received and I have heard nothing but good and blessed comments about them, as I am sure with this one I will also. Besides being blessed to publish God’s poems, I am also blessed to present musical PowerPoint presentations to shut-ins. How awesome it is to be able to reach out with God’s Love and touch another soul in need. This part of the His journey for me will continue until He says, “Rest”. To understand fully His impact on my life I encourage all to visit my website, www.glowny.org, “God’s Love Outreach Western New York.
